Oops!
 
Kate Moss loses her hair (extensions)... on the red carpet
from The Daily Mail

All glammed up and somewhere to go, model Kate Moss put some extra effort into cutting a dash on the red carpet. With her blonde locks looking fuller than usual, the reason why became apparent as one of the model's hair extensions fell out leaving her red-faced. The embarrassing incident happened as Kate returned from the afterparty for her new fragrance 'Velvet Hour' at a Berlin Club.

She should've kept TRACK of it. :eek:

What was she doing with that Barbie hair, anyway? :rolleyes: Her look is so better than that.

(I always try to tell people that white women were wearing extensions and tracks before it took on a new meaning and audience)

WenD08 06-13-2008 04:55 PM

wow, i'll look for that story on TMZ;) w/all that money, she shoulda got a better "weave"...

WenD08 06-13-2008 04:57 PM

Rrrrrrr got off....

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080613/...r_kelly_trial\

I thought I would be surpised but I wasn't. I think because when I heard it I was half sleep. Then my mom told my about Tim Russert and that woke me up. :eek: :(

RedefinedDiva 06-13-2008 11:31 PM

I'm kinda sad about Tim Russert. I had really just started to get into him. I have watched a few times before, but had started feeling him more this election season. I was so sorry to hear this news. :( The fact that Father's Day weekend and he had just gotten back from celebrating his son's graduation makes it worse.

Is his dad, "Big Russ" still living?

jitterbug13 06-14-2008 04:18 PM

Big Russ is still alive. He lives in Buffalo (where Tim is from) and I believe they just moved him to a assisted living facility. Tim's mother passed about a year or two ago.

One part of me that makes me sad from all of this is that we've lost a lot of good journalists the last few years (Russert, Ed Bradley, Peter Jennings) and we're left with some really crappy ones (not I'm wishing harm on them). I'm still heated on Faux News calling Michelle a "baby mama".

Jury Finds R. Kelly Not Guilty
After three weeks of testimony, a jury has acquitted the singer on all counts at his child pornography trial in Chicago

All AboutR. Kelly

(FROM AP) - A jury acquitted R. Kelly on all counts at his child pornography trial on Friday (June 13), during the second day of deliberations. The singer was accused of taping himself having sex with a woman the prosecution claims was as young as 13. He faced 15 years in prison, if convicted. The case went to jurors on Thursday after three weeks of witness testimony.
Cook County Prosecutor Robert Heilingoetter's case revolved around a videotape he alleged shows Kelly having sex with a teenager as young as 13. The tape was shown in court as the prosecution tried to portray the singer as a person who preys on young girls.

Ultimately, the jury seems to have been more swayed by defense attorney Sam Adam Jr.'s argument that the two people seen having sex on the tape are not who prosecutors say they are (both Kelly and the alleged victim deny it as well). The defense suggested that the Grammy Award-winning R&B singer is the victim of an extortion plot and cast doubt on the prosecution's contention that a mole seen on the man on the tape matches one on Kelly's back. The defense called an expert who testified that the mark looked more like a tape glitch than a mole. ''That means it ain't him, and if it ain't him, you can't convict,'' Adam said in his closing arguments. (AP via Yahoo!)

R Kelly and Ron Isley should be in jail making music together.

WenD08 06-19-2008 06:02 PM

remember when TI was involved in a shooting incident in Cincinnati a couple of years ago where his friend was murdered? well, there have been arrests. check the story: http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.d...0107/306190079

i'm hoping this sad story will come to an end.

The woman who testified in Rrrrrrrr's trial speaks to Essence:

Some of it had me :eek:. Some people felt like she wasn't telling the truth but I believe her. I hope Rrrrr does like Michael and finally leaves those young girls alone.

Vogue Italia's July Issue to Only Feauture Black Models
 
http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/...9black-600.jpg

RACIAL prejudice in the fashion industry has long persisted because of tokenism and lookism. “We already have our black girl,” says a designer to a fashion-show casting agent, declining to see others. Or: “She doesn’t have the right look.” Laziness, paranoia and pedantry may also have something to do with the failure to hire black models for shows and magazine features in any meaningful number, but, hey, that’s just a guess.

Next stop for "Soul Train" is new ownership

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Don Cornelius has sold his "Soul Train" franchise to MadVision Entertainment, a multimedia company specializing in branded urban content and production.

The deal gives MadVision production rights to the weekly "Soul Train" series along with a catalog of more than 1,100 hours of archival footage from the show's 37-year run.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When a new company takes over, the outcome is never good. I hope they don't completely revamp and totally ruin Soul Trainmore than it already has been. It was hard enough watching it through the Shemar Moore years.

RedefinedDiva 06-20-2008 12:22 AM

^^^ Soul Train has been off the rails for a while now. But I must say that I LOVE some of the classic episodes! :D
